Nighthawk Pro Gaming Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Hello, I have gigabit service from my ISP. When plugged in to the wall I at least get 250~500Mbit download speeds but when I try to download the same exact file from the same exact website (Microsoft in this case, downloading a Windows 7 ISO), when I'm wired in through my router using a Cat 5e cable, the download is limited to 100Mbit speed. What's ever weirder is that when I run a speed test from the same computer, I consistently get 850~900 Mbit download speeds. So what gives, why are the ethernet ports on my router only giving me 100Mbit? Also I will mention that Windows is showing this computer to be connected to my router via ethernet at 1Gbps. Yes, I've tried disabling QoS, no difference. View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
